I have a Marquee and have successfully rooted using http://androidnerds.net/2011/10/08/lg-esteem-oneclickroot-now-ready/. Apparently the LG Esteem is close enough for this to work. After install, you will need to manually update superuser via the market.
Thanks to Hoovhartid over at androidcentral forums for suggesting this.

Fatcobrah, if you can give me instructions how to back it up, I will be glad to upload it. I have root access but not CWM recovery.

install Rom Manager from the market
ROM manager doesn't give an option for my phone for CWM and you can't back up your ROM without it.
Sorry but not risking bricking this thing if I make the wrong choice.

+1.and you can use adb to pull all files and boot.img ,and we can test it in a safer way
Okay guys, I thought what the hell, I'll try the LGE Black option in ROM manager and see what happens.
IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Use the volume keys to move and the search button to select.
I have backed up the ROM from the Marquee and loaded on Mediafire.
The back up wasn't good, so i pulled the link. Sorry!
Hope this helps.
Sorry folks, I don't think the backup is any good. I tried another and it looks the same. It is too small and doesn't have musch data.
Can someone point me to, or step me through, how to pull all the files with adb. I'll be glad to pull and post.

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-perform-and-restore-a-nandroid-backup/
am kinda noob too..so hope this will help!xD
first of all,you need a adb.exe
you can get it from super-one-click,or android sdk,google it
for example,we pull files at d:\system
copy adb files in d:\system
and then,open cmd(win+R,enter cmd)
connect your phone before we start.
type
Code:
d:
adb pull /system .\system
ok then it will pull all the system files into d:\system
does it back up to a directory on the SD card? if it does, you need all the files in the directory. there should be a few .img files along with the nandroid.md5 file. put them all in a zip and upload it.
look in sdcard: \clockworkmod\backup\
the directory the files are in should be named with a date+time stamp
Any chance?

I've already tried the CWM backup and it is no good, only about 18 meg in size and missing almost everything important.
That is why I was trying to get directions on how to use ADB to pull system files and image from the phone.

1. Download Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Install it on C: (not on Program Files for Easy Access)
3. Connect your phone through USB with debugging on
4. Open Command propt from your PC. (windows button + r / type "cmd" without quotes)
5. On command prompt type "cd c:\Android\ASDK\platform-tools" (without quotes then press Enter)
6. Then type "adb pull /system" (without quotes then press Enter)
7. wait till it's finished pulling the files
Now go to C:Android\ASDK\platform-tools. Copy all files now, zip it. Upload, they'll just exclude/disect the adb ones.
this is interesting. I'm going to try to use this method for rooting our P970.
Advices are welcome
Okay, I used ADB and was able to pull the system, boot.img and recovery.img.
Not sure if any of these are correct. The system file is HUGE (434mb zipped) but looks like every thing is there. Both boot and recovery are 5.00mb each.
If this looks right and is what you are after I will upload it to mediafire.
Let me know.
go go up it!, i wanna see if we can get a nice gingerbread with lg drivers from this.

Hey, thanks for posting here. Here is v20b : http://www.lgmobiles.com/gsm/download/P970 V20B(Gingerbread Version).rar
We don't have it for N version. I saw the russian forum and wanted to ask you about howvyou managed to root v20a before this method.
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
this method is working just v20a(attachment patched bin file) right?
Where how I convert .kdz to .bin file?
I know russian very well.So i shortly translate all procedure done here.
They patched original 20A bin file , changing system recovery.img with clocworkmod recovery.img touch version.
Download 20A.bin extract it,and put somewhere in your computer.
and below there is a CWM flashable superuser.zip.
Download it and put to your Sd kart.Do not extract.
Then simply flash that patched 20A bin file with smart flash procedure posted here from radkor
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448803
After finished flashing with smartflash tool go to cwm recovery and install superuser.zip
and you get rooted original 20A ginger.
Nice option for flashing and rooting
but we do not have 20N bin file yet.
we have only indian version 20B bin file, redpik posted it above
Thread moved
Unless it's a ROM or kernel you've created yourself, this doesn't belong in Development.
Doesn't SmartFlash auto erases all user data (factory reset at first boot)?
Okey... Maybe, tomorrow I will be a version (.bin) V20N

Ok. Let me try to understand this. They replace "system recovery.img" which is reside in the original rom bin file with "cwm recovery.img" (where to get this file?) and then flash it using smartflash tool. So after reset by smartflah, cwm is already in the phone installed. Then all is easy, proceed to install superuser.zip, etc..etc.zip.
How is it possible to obtain root by inserting cwm in the rom while cwm itself require root to run? Also, what's the "system recovery.img" that got replaced. Is it important?
Please investigate more. Need more info on how "patching" is done too. I don't understand russian.

I guess you need to investigate more how android works. Flashing recovery image with the whole system in a bin file makes cmw part of the "original" firmware so,like recovery that only can erase all this one can read/write in the system files. Sounds normal. I read on Samsung forums that they get root for latest versions by flashing a patched odin file and then a su zip. I will try it

Then we can say that this is universal method as long as cwm can be patch into the rom. Finding exploit is not necessary anymore. So, what's the function of the file replaced in the rom. Is it the original lg recovery method which is not available anymore if this we use this method?
Thanks for the explanation, I wonder why it hasn't be use before, maybe because lack of rom file in bin format?
Edit: downloading rom in your link, pls post how to proceed if you get hold of it.

to get the files out of a kdz: grab them while someone is using the KDZ program to update their phone. The files are extracted and put into "C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone" but as soon as the program detects no phone the entire directory is blown away. Too fast to grab the files. So either you update for real (in which case you have the time to grab the files) or you create a symbolic link between the C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone folder and another folder you create say name it C:\test. What happens is that files get extracted and then \phone folder deleted when no phone is detected but the files remain on the \test folder. So you get your files which are a "model.dll" file (in p970 case i guess something like lgp970.dll) and a .wdb file which is the firmware. How to proceed though to tinker further with the .wdb file so as to get bin file and baseband still elludes me

update: doing some research and it seems to extract the bin files you need lgutils and the .dll file you get from the kdz extraction but I am not at home to look into it any further.

My friends,
Some colleagues like to flash and restore roms too in developer devices (not for sale) like all did with KDZ updater everyday.
The question is: If KDZ isn't working with developer devices, then how we can flash it? How can we unlock it?
I discovered some things:
1 - KDZ is a encrypted file.
2 - Developers device has unlocked bootloader.
3 - I've tried many ways to flash kdz in this device, but it never concludes the process, never worked. It stops on "wparam=2010 iparam=18". There are diferents parameter varyating for each developer phone.
4 - We have to discover a new way to flash in this device, or we can decrypt the KDZ file.
*BINGO!* I DIT IT!
How to FLASH and Unbrick LG P880 Developer Edition
This procedure applies only for the initial LG P880 Developer Edition.
But how to know if your device is this version?
First, remove the back cover of your device and search for the words "not for sale". Then (if your phone still works), go to settings> about phone> Software Version. If the version of your device starts with the code V09a, V09b, V09c, etc. - This is a sign that your phone is the developer version!
This means you can not flashing KDZ files through the official LG updater. Even if you download the file separately, the only thing you will achieve is to brick your phone.
But our problems are over! I came to save you!:thumbup:
Procedure:
First, download the KDZ file of your choice here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15
Second, download this firmware pack with DZ. File and proper .DLL File: http://bayfiles.com/file/bRZx/AZaxbu...GP880.v10A.rar
Third, download this drivers:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata...er-4.10(2).zip
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/data/L...in7_LGEAll.zip
Fourth, download LG Flash Tool:
http://www.mediafire.com/?pzqr0gsw8u9erxl
We will definitely erase any record of your device. Unlike the KDZ method, this one makes a "ULTRA HARD RESET". Our device is not registered as selling model, yet the hardware is identical to the model of the consumer. We'll do the flash rom, and also unlock the device so that it is compatible with the KDZ flasher once and for all!
Once you’ve downloaded all the archives, let’s begin. Go to victory.
1. Extract “LGFlashTool 1.2” and instal "Setup_LGFlashTool_1.2.45.921.exe"
2.Replace the file LGFlashTool.exe into C:\LG\LGFlashTool ( You will crack the software with this )
3. Extract and Install “OMAPFlashInstaller-4.10(2).zip”
4.Exract “LGUnitedModemDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver_4.9.7_All_Wi n7_LG EAll.zip” and Install“LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497CA20_WHQL_ML_Ver_ 1. 0 .exe ” and“LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497MA20_WHQL_ML_Ver_1. 0 .exe ”
5. Turn Off phone, Remove your phone’s SIM and SD cards.
6.Press and hold voll up button in LG P880.
7. When you holding “voll up button” connect the USB cable.
8.When computer detects the new hardware (Omap4430) release “voll up button”.
9. Install the Driver.
10.After Driver installation, go to device manager and change the port “LGE CDMA USB SERIAL PORT” to “com41″.
11. Run LGFlashTool.
12.In DLL select the proper DLL file you’ve downloaded.
13. In S/W select only the proper DZ. File you’ve downloaded.
14.Choice (Check) “USB” and click OK.
15. Click on Port COM settings(COM plug icon) and select "1" ( Unmark the numbers above )
16. Click start(The Port 1 window should appear READY).
17.Disconnects USB cable and wait 5 seconds.
18. Press and hold voll up button in Lg P880 and connect USB cable.
19.The update process will begin automatically after that release the “vol up”.
20. When the progress bar reaches 100%, the phone will power on and boots automatically!
21. Done! You did it!
22. Now go and flash a KDZ file as your choice using KDZ updater! Your phone was’nt more a developer phone! We transformed it on a consumer phone edition! Wow!
Id like to thanks all if you!
And dont forget to thanks hitting the "thanks" button!

But Xavier, thats easy... every time you select "start upgrade" in R&D Test Tool (after you choose a .kdz file) it generates a .cab file.
You just need to extract what's inside of the V10x.cab ... it will be a .dz file and the .dll, in this case "X3_2008_v0.0.6.9"
I didn't explore a lot that "OMAPFlashInstaller" yet, not a lot of time for that now
Just a curiosity, the .dz file extracted from a V10f_00.kdz is good as well, or needs to be exactly the V10a_00.kdz?
Thanks

I presume you're talking about this link: http://bayfiles.com/file/bRZx/AZaxbu/.kdz_et_.dz_.dll_LGP880.v10A.rar
If you use JDownloader you can do it in 5-10 minutes (depending on your Internet speed...)
I start to download it 2 minutes ago, 3MB/s in 3 minutes it will be finished.
I'll try to upload to 4shared
This file contains:
- LGP880AT-00-V10a-EUR-XXX-MAY-23-2012+0.dz
- V10A_00.kdz
- X3_2008_v0.0.6.9.dll
Like I mentioned before, to have a .dz file it's just needed the .kdz file.
Once that you'll need it to flash, it's enough when you download the .kdz that you want.

@RuedasLocas-the problem is not the speed, I download it with ~1MB/s. The problem is that I tried downloading ~10 times, and it stops after 50, 90, 27, etc (up to 500) MB. It stops like it finished downloading and then the archive is corrupt. Maybe a different hosting service would be better.
Anyway, thank you guys for your help!

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
TechGR, you don't need that!
Grab the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe (R&D Test tool) select the KDZ file that you want to install in your phone, hit the "Start Upgrade" and the programe will creat in the same folder where you have the "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe" a .cab file. Even if you don't connect the phone, nothing...
As soon as you see that cab file in the folder, use winRAR to extract the DZ file and the DLL.
The "kdz-update" that I provide here:
http://www.4shared.com/rar/Re4VCOAS/kdz-udpate.html
Arghhhh again
Ok, I tried that, but it did not make any CAB file. However, I decrypted the KDZ using the same tool, and I ended up with a .dz file and a .dll file. I suppose these are the files I need
Well, I followed the tutorial from the first post exactly, except I used the two files I extracted. When I get to step 16 and I click Start, the port 1 does not appear ready (nothing happens).
I'm sure we're gonna sort it out soon, I gotta run now.

Make sure you have followed guide properly, disable modem if you have it (i kept drivers from root method which doesnt have modem) and make sure Windows enabler is on. Log runs for a long time when I flash, about 15 minutes before it finally reboots

Extract the .dz and .dll files from the wind .kdz and flash it with LGFLASH Tool.

put the Firmware kdz in the "kdz-update" folder.
Run "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin" like if you were flashing the phone.
when you hit "upgrade" in the program, it will creat a temp .cab file like "V10x.cab" in the same folder "kdz-update", you need to be fast and select and copy (or drag&drop) that file to other location, desktop for example...
after you get the .cab, you just need to extract the .dz and .dll files with winrar, winzip, or other.

Can someone please send me a good link to a wind mobile kdz file
Hi I tried to install a new Rom Ive had experience before in doing this so thought it would be like the countless other times ive done on Samsung.
Ive unlocked
Ive installed a recovery (did have TWRP but now using PitchBlack)
It says I dont have any download or storage in recovery
stuck in fastboot
When using MiFlash (which Ive no experience of)error message, see attached image.
Any help in next steps be much appreciated.
In the folder where rom is, create an empty folder and rename it to log.
Then try reflashing. It should work
Cheers
i dont have the rom on my phone anymore and miflash is giving that error

trying to install stock rom using miflash, it says cannot find file flash_all_lock.bat anyone help?
Hi, it happened yesterday, I did the following:
1- download my flash last
2-decompress my flash and create empty folder with the name of log inside what was decompressed
3-download compatible firmware in .tgz format not in .zip
4- unzip .tgz file on disk C, rename the folder to raphaeli (I don't know if necessary, I don't think so I did).
5- open miflash, install drivers.
6-find the raphaeli folder and click on refresh.
7- uncheck the box below where it says block if this is not the case.
I hope you understand me, sorry for the English use a translator

You don't unzip the .tgz file. You flash the .tgz file using MiFlash. Before you flash the file make sure the "clean all and lock" on the bottom right corner IS NOT SELECTED. If you flash it with it selected it will lock your bootloader and you will most likely brick your phone.
I just got the .tgz file but now getting this error, anyone able to help? please im begging at this stage!!!

EDITED.
My bad. Failed to notice you're not showing file extensions, so didn't realise the .bat files are actually there. Ignore original post.
After seeing the error have you tried booting into the phone?
Many times users say they get an error at the end of flashing with the Mi Flash Tool, but after, they can boot into MIUI and everything is fine. Not seen this error myself, so don't know if it's the same as your seeing.
